Property description
The double fronted, red brick property is one of the most appealing in Wolviston and retains many character features from the outset.
A central entrance hall leads to each of the ground floor rooms which are all of generous proportions. The two main reception rooms benefit from attractive panelled bay windows bringing in plenty of light and giving views to the front. Both the lounge and the second reception room – which has the versatility to function as a dining room, family room, playroom or study – have open fireplaces with attractive period surrounds. The substantial kitchen is at the back of the house and comfortably takes a large dining table. A lovely sunny room, a door leads directly into the garden making it an ideal entertaining space. A utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs space.
Upstairs there are four characterful bedrooms, two with built-in storage, and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has views to the front, a cast iron fireplace and stripped floorboards. If garden views are preferred, bedroom two also benefits from an en-suite shower room.
The side and rear garden is enclosed and beautifully landscaped to provide lawns, a very pleasant dining area, established beds and mature trees. A double garage and outbuilding lie within the property.
Wolviston is the envy of many villages in being able to retain rural businesses that include a beauty salon and hairdresser, florist, a riding school, two pubs and a post office. It also has cricket and football teams, Girl Guides, an allotment holders club, a church and a primary school, all contributing to make it a lively and friendly community.
